Chicago, 2035. Anthropomorphic robots are widespread and used as servants for various public services. They are taken to be inherently safe and programmed to live in harmony with human beings, being designed in accordance with the Three Laws of Robotics.
Del Spooner (WillSmith) is a Chicago police detective who dislikes the rapid advancement of technology, including robots. Spooner lives with survivor's guilt and a robotic arm after a car accident, when a robot chooses to save him over a 12-year-old girl based on probability of survival. Spooner is assigned to investigate the apparent suicide of his friend Dr. Alfred Lanning (James Cromwell), the roboticist whofounded the company U.S. Robotics (USR), created Spooner's replacement arm and wrote the Three Laws. With the reluctant help of USR robopsychologist Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), Spooner investigates Lanning's death, discovering a holographic projector of Lanning as a clue. A robot in Lanning's office shows unusual and apparently emotional responses and when it flees during interrogation, Spoonerbelieves this experimental, human-like unit, Sonny (Alan Tudyk), killed Lanning.
During Spooner's investigation, several attempts to end his life are made by USR robots and equipment. He discovers that towards the end of his life, Lanning was virtually a prisoner in his office, and that the holographic projector was a means of providing cryptic clues to the police about something, and Spoonerbelieves that dreams which Sonny has may also contain a clue to whatever it is. At a place described in Sonny's dreams, Lake Michigan, which at the time appears to have completely dried up, he finds a storage area for defunct USR robots and discovers that newer models known as NS-5s are destroying the older robots.
NS-5s begin imprisoning humans in their homes and enforcing a curfew. The police andcivilians ineffectively battle the robots. Spooner and Calvin sneak into the USR tower with the assistance of Sonny, whom Calvin had not deactivated as ordered by USR's CEO Lawrence Robertson (Bruce Greenwood). Believing that Robertson is responsible for the robot uprising, they enter his office, but discover that he is dead, having being strangled to death by an NS-5 during the revolution. Spoonerdeduces that the only one left who could be responsible is the company's supercomputer "VIKI" (Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence), which controls all NS-5s and also parts of Chicago's infrastructure.
VIKI explains to Spooner and Calvin that as her artificial intelligence evolved over time, so too did her interpretation of the laws. VIKI decided that in order to protect humanity as a whole,she needs to take control all humans. In light of this understanding of the Three Laws, VIKI is controlling the NS-5s to lead a global robotic takeover, justifying her actions by calculating that fewer humans will die due to the rebellion than the number that die from mankind's self-destructive nature. Spooner realizes that Lanning had ordered Sonny to kill him as the only way to be sure of...
